Hardware Sizing

The hardware compute and storage requirements for MOSIP core platform are estimated as below.

Production

Compute

Compute hardware estimates for a production deployment:

Module	Capacity	Servers	Configuration
Pre-registration	7200 pre-regs/hour*	10	4 VCPU**, 16 GB RAM
Registration Processor	200,000 registrations per day	80	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM
ID Authentication	2,000,000 auth requests per day	20	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM
Resident Services	7200 resident services/hour*	10	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM

* Average throughput

** VCPU: Virtual CPU

We estimate 30% (approx) additional compute capacitiy for administration, monitoring and maintenance. This may be optimized by the System Integrator.

Notes

1. High availability is taken into consideration with assumed replication factor of 2 per service pod/docker

2. The above estimates do not include compute servers needed for

   1. Database

   2. HDFS/CEPH

   3. Bio SDK

   4. HSM

   5. ABIS

   6. Virus scan

   7. Load balancers

   8. External IAM

   9. Disaster recovery

Storage

Appication and system logs

• Application logs

Module	Unit	Raw log size
Pre-Reg	100 pre-regs	20 MB
Reg Proc	100 registrations	200 MB

The above estimates are approximate, and may inflate if, for example, there are too many exception traces.

The logs may be compressed and archived after a week or so. The compression ratio achieved with tar+gz utility is 15-20.

• System logs

To be estimated by System Integrator according to the deployment

Dev, QA, Staging, Preprod

Additional compute and storage is needed for the following setups.

Environment	Setup	n Servers	Configuration	Storage
Dev	Sandbox	13	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM	128 GB SSD
QA	Sandbox	13	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM	128 GB SSD
Staging	Sandbox	13	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM	128 GB SSD
Pre-production	Cell	*	4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM	*

* To be decided by the country/System Integrator.
